I see. Basically, I will never know what I have.... :(

Wait . Lol. Sorry everybody. So the gun I am talking about , which is indeed blue ( not parkerized) IS 558XXX. Letter says that is WAS shipped to OSS in 1944. For some reason , letter also says...
Ok. Colt letter says : made in 1944 , shipped to OSS in 1944. Finish : Blue. Gun is BLUE What is it ?
That's what I thought.
Confusing...... Colt archive letter that states how the gun left the factory , when it was made and where it was shipped is sufficient to show what the gun is. If letter says the gun is blued ,...
What is the difference in value between OSS guns and guns shipped for commanding officer ?
Serial number range 558XXX
Is a letter from Colt that shows a blued 1903 shipped to OSS should be enough ?
I see. A Colt letter would be proof where the gun was shipped.
What about 1944 OSS pistols that are blued ?
Can someone explain different variations of US property marked Colt 1903 .32 pistols ? Thank You
What is the REAL difference between Steyr Spp and B&T TP9? Are the small parts compatible?
Can some explain the difference between 1980's imported green stocked Steyr AUG / sa A1 rifles and Steyr AUG's made recently and currently.

Thank You . After owning and shooting this rifle for a little bit. I woudl like to know, about different shops who work on Garands. This time I think I want to get ( or order) a Garand that was...
I understand. When You say all Garands are collectible, what do You mean by that? I thought only CORRECT GARANDS with matching parts and original finish were REALLY collectible.
I recenlty got a DGR SA Garand. Looks new in every way, with DGR leather sling and work order form 2006. TE -2 MW-1. I fired it . Perfect rifle!
Since it was restocked , refinished and tunned by...
Many , many people today, are MOSTLY interested how their Garands look and shoot. Top of the line Match bulid Garands form known shops can run over 2000.00 . Which is WAY more than a correct 1950's...
